So large that I do not think it is probable that we have been visited by other intelligent life, not impossible just not probable.
I believe all stories of abuctions and such are complete BS. Abduction scenarios have been around for millenia whether it be malevolent spirits, fairies, ogres, witches or in more recent times aliens. Abduction stories just seem to be part of the human culture with the thing doing the abducting the only variation over time.

Great answer. You are correct. There is a possibility of existence but not probable that "aliens" have visited our planet. The distance between solar systems and galaxies are so vast that astronomers don't even measure in miles they use what is called astronomical units (AU). It takes light itself just travel to the end of our solar system and back. Some of stars we see shining in the sky, the light from some of them have took millions of yeasr just to reach us.
